Welcome to Milo art

Welcome to the pleasuredome,
land of Bipolarity...beyond the Sea of Depression and
among the hills of Mania.

Milo was born in Belgrad, in 1955. Starting early, he
was admitted to the Academy of Arts, Düsseldorf
(Germany) at sixteen, the youngest student of art ever!
There he was taught by the late Joseph Beuys, and Claus
Köhler – Achenbach, among other defining figures of
German contemporary art. He subsequently attended the
Colone conservatory, studying under the likes of Jiggs Wigham
and Fred Harz. After finishing his studies, Milo moved to
Budapest, Hungary and opened revolutionary gallery and
restaurant Amadeus. A space with interiors, furniture,
artwork and food all of his creation, it rapidly gained
popularity with the local high society, expats and visiting
celebrities, boasting quest like Donald Sutherland, Jeremy
Irons and George Soros, James Belushi, Emerson Lake and
Palmer, Al di Meola, Moby, Mike Stern, and Branford Marsalis.
His time in Budapest also marks a prolific period of painting.

He develops a penchant toward the surreal and the
morbid. It is this new style to garner him the attention of
the late Leo Castelli, who was to become the subject
in a vast series of photographs, sketches and oil portraits
for Milo. Their friendship would later result in Milo showing
his work in galleries around North America. Further projects
include yacht design – implementing a patent of a boat with
a partly detachable front piece to fit specifications of size
for road transportation, showcased at the 1987 Yacht and Boat
design fair in Düsseldorf, the construction of real estate, such
as a town hoese in Berchtesgaden, Germany, mergin modern
elements and classically Bavaria interiors, and manufacturing
unique bespoke guitars. Through his many endeavours painting
has remained his main focus, allowing him to adapt his style to
aesthetic.
